To all whom it'may concern/1' I Be it known that-I, MARY-T. ROEMER, a

- citizen of the United States, residing at'Wabasha, in the count of Wabasha and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments. for Pans and the Like to RreventBui-ning, of

- which the. following isa specification.

This invention re ates to an attachment for pans or like articles employed for baking purposes, and has'fo'r its primary object'to repair of bail-like'membei's, one of w "ch is ventjthe burning of the-pan-by rovi ing means for hol the bottom 0 the-pan spaced from the bottom of the oven. v

The attachment consists, essentiall of a preferably placed at each end'ofthe; pan and- I so which are adaptedto serve as a support for the pan when swung around'a ainst the bottom thereof or as handles for ifting the-pan I orhanging it from a hook or similar support;

.. For a full description ofthe invention and I the merits-thereof and also to' acquire aknowl 3 2 1s a side elevatlon of. the same with the attachment swung around to'form a support edge of the details :of constructionof the means for effecting the result reference is to v be had to the followin descri tion and accompanying drawings,"m whic F1 e 11s a perspectiveview of a pan hav- "ing t e attachment ap lied thereto and show? mg. it as swung upwar to form handles. Fig.

' Corresponding and. like arts are referred to in the followm description and indicated reference characters.

, ments for slidingthe pan to any desired osition-within the oven. When the bai like members '2 are swung around above the an,

they may beemployed as handles forli ting the same or when swung partly around may "be used for han ing the pan able support. 1118 attachment also revents the contents of the pan from ba 'ng' om any suit too quickly at the bottom, since the pan is com 'letely surrounded by a film of air and the eat is conducted thereto with equal ra.-

'pidity on all sides.

-' 'Havin thus described the'invention,what

is claime as new is- 1. .The combination of a pan, and a baillike attachment therefor, said attachment comprising. a cross-bar,..and arms which have theirfree ends givotally connectedto the sides i I arms being provided with inof the pan, sai

wardly-projecting. shoulders which are 10- -ed.to engage'with the'bottom of. the pan to hold the cross-bar spaced therefrom.

catednear the cross-bar and which are adapt f I The combinat on of a pan, and a like attachment therefor, said attachment comprising a cross-bar and arms having their free ends -p;votally connected to the sides of the Han, said arms being providedwitli outwar ly-projecting bends which form fingerpieces and also with inwardly projecting shoulders which are adapted to engage with the bottom of the pan to hold the cross-bar Spaced therefrom.

3. The combination of a pan, and a bail like attachment therefor, said attachment comprising a cross-bar and arms which have their free ends pivotally connected to the 'jecting U shap'ed bends in t sides of'the pan, said arms being provided with finger-pieces formed by outwardly-proe arms, and also with shoulders formed by inwardly-projectinig' U-shaped bends, said shoulders being a apted to engage with the bottom of the pan to hold the cross-bar spaced therefrom. 4. The combination ofa pan, and a baillike attachment therefor, said attachment being formed of a single iece of-wire and comprising a cross-bar an arms, the latter having their "free ends bent inwardly and passed through openings in the sides of the pan, said arms being formed with outwardlyprojecting U-shapedben'ds which form fin ger-pieces and are located adjacent to the be: fore-mentioned inwardly-bent ends, and also with inwardly-projecting U-shaped bends which are located near the cross-bar and form shoulders which are adapted to engage with the bottom of the pan and hold the cross-bar spaced therefrom.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
